You can read our exclusive set report here and check out a slew of stills/behind-the-scenes images in our gallery.
No special features have been announced yet, however, we’ve heard rumblings that you can expect on-set interviews and footage. Furthermore, for those in L.A., there may be a special event screening so you can check it out in the theater.
A redo of Kevin Tenney’s ’80s cult classic, Gierasch’s film stars Diora Baird, Shannon Elizabeth, Monica Keena, Edward Furlong, Bobbi Sue Luther, John F. Beach, Michael Copon and Tiffany Shepis.
A new trailer for Diora Baird‘s upcoming movie Quit which premiered at Newport Beach International Film Festival on April 24th has been released which you can view above. I’ve also added HD screencatures which you can view by clicking on the previews below.
A couple from Hollywood goes away to the scenic desert of Joshua Tree to quit smoking. With all emotions unmasked, they cheat, lie and struggle valiantly to overcome their enslavement. As we share the pain and torture the couple put themselves through in the name of love and pleasure, we learn that smoking is a methaphor for their addictive relationship. The extreme passion they show through sex and fighting is really a measure of their love for each other. Whether they like it or not, they cannot escape destiny or the temptations that lead them there.
You may have noticed that the film ‘Blood Out’ has been removed from Diora Baird’s IMDB profile. According she won’t be in the film any more. She revealed on twitter that the reason for her departure is due to “schedule conflicts with Riddle“. She has now been replaced by 90210 star Annalynne Mccord.
It such a big shame since ‘Blood Out’ looked really promising, hopefully something better will come up soon.
Filming continued this week in South Fayette on “Riddle,” starring Val Kilmer, the first collaboration of Pittsburgh-area natives Brian and John Hartman and their friend Nick Mross.
“Pretty much everyone on this crew is from Pittsburgh,” said crew member Curtis Abbot, an Ohio native who now lives here.
No release date is set, but Brian Hartman said a major distributor is on board. Tuesday marked the 14th of 21 scheduled days of filming, which began in Brownsville.
“We spent about six months writing it,” Hartman said. “It took four to five months to plan the whole thing out.”
The plot involves a woman (Elizabeth Harnois) who comes home from college three years after her brother is kidnapped — and sees someone wearing some of her brother’s clothing.
She’s drawn to a town named Riddle, which Brian Hartman described as a “closed-down town with a lot of mystery to it.”
The movie also stars William Sadler and Diora Baird.
Yesterday, much of the shooting centered on an old barn, supposedly home to a survivalist. A python skin and a live squirrel are among the “extras.”
The rain presented some issues, but the crew navigated around it.
“It’s just making it a little muddy,” said location man Steve Hough of Nevillewood.
The movie, including editing, is scheduled to be completed in October. Hartman said it could be released in summer 2011.
Hartman said his team also is working on another film in the same genre as “Riddle.”
It’s turning out to be a bright summer considering all the stars headed this way. The latest group of actors to grace the capital city include Val Kilmer, Luke Goss, Vinnie Jones and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, who will be in Baton Rouge shooting Blood Out for the next few weeks.
Filming begins Monday, May 10, according to director Jason Hewitt, whose Films in Motion is based in Baton Rouge.
“We are excited about shooting here,” Hewitt said. “It means I can sleep in my own bed … but seriously … Baton Rouge is a very film-friendly place and we couldn’t be happier with help from the city, the police department and the neighborhoods we’ll be in.”
Hewitt said the movie will include a big chase scene filmed downtown, with more scenes filmed near the Garden District.
The movie’s plot is thick with intrigue, action and suspense.
Blood Out is the story of proverbial good cop Michael (Goss) who goes undercover in the violent gang world to seek justice for his younger brother, David, who was murdered by members of his own gang. David had been trying to escape their world of crime so he could marry the beautiful Anya (Diora Baird). David was killed as a way of enforcing the gang’s mantra: “blood out.”
Along the way, Michael encounters a human trafficking ring and a villanous international gang leader named Arturo (Kilmer).
Eventually, he is forced into a battle between good and evil, Hewitt said.
According to IMDB Diora Baird has been cast in a new movie ‘Blood Out‘ along side Val Kilmer, Luke Goss, 50 Cent, Tamer Hassan and others. and a thriller called ‘Riddle‘ along side Val Kilmer again which is currently being filmed in Pittsburgh.
When big city detectives refuse to further investigate his kid brother’s gang related murder, small town Sheriff Michael Spencer drops the badge and goes undercover to find his brother’s killer and avenge his death.
